Seborrheic dermatitis can sometimes affect the ear canal, leading to symptoms such as itching, redness, and scaling inside the ear. This can be particularly bothersome for those affected and can even lead to temporary hearing loss if the condition becomes severe.
To manage seborrheic dermatitis in the ear canal, it’s essential to seek professional medical advice, as improper treatment or cleaning techniques can potentially cause further complications, such as infections or damage to the delicate structures within the ear.
A healthcare professional may recommend topical treatments specifically designed for use in the ear canal, such as antifungal or corticosteroid drops, to help control the symptoms and alleviate discomfort. (9)
